- Skill: Micro Jump Drive Operation.
- Spool up time 12 sec. Jumps ca. 100 km. Cooldown 5 minutes. Battleship only. Affected by warp scrambled. Increases base sig radius.
I was really excited about this module when I first read it. I thought it'd have a chance to make armor brawlers (cruisers and BCs, too) more relevant again against the FOTM shield kiting gangs, but if it's only available to battleships and then only every 5 minutes, really?, then I just don't see a use for it outside of some very limited situations and very specific instances.
The problem is that the kiting gang will get jumped, yes, (pun not intended lol) and you'll get maybe one of their ships, but the rest of the gang will just kite away and it'll be 5 minutes of getting picked off, just as it is now. I don't see this being a success for armor brawlers--well, Megathrons....we all know the only ship that'll use them.

- Skill (Armor Resistance Phasing) now reduces cap need by 5% per level in addition to reducing cycle time.
- Percentage change per cycle is now 6 instead of 3 (so resistances shift twice as fast).
It's nice to see this getting some love and I welcome the chance to try it out!
Hosedna wrote:Will salvage drones also loot ? Or only salvage ?
I think he was asking whether the salvage drones will actually loot the stuff on the ship or will they ONLY salvage, meaning that once they salvage a ship with loot (filled-in triangle), we'll have a cargo container there to pick up from the actual loot and not just the salvage loot that the drone will carry back.
Also, are you guys going to add a 25 m3/25 bandwidth to the Noctis so he can load salvage drones? |

Someone give me a scenario. Sniping ships. Somebody is closing in on your tornado? Click the button and start shooting again. Yeah, too bad the module is battleship only, eh?
Yeah. Sadly armor cruiser and BC brawlers are still going to be largely irrelevant to shield kiting fotm gangs. :( |

I think many people share this sentiment. I'm holding out hope that drones overall will get overhauled and their interface will be changed at that point. You know--the point when drones become useful in PvP. |
